SEREMBAN, Feb 18 (Bernama) -- The Negeri Sembilan Health Department has called on the public to continue donating blood, including during Ramadan.
Its director Dr Zuraida Mohamed, said this is to ensure that blood supply remains sufficient at hospitals throughout the state, particularly for emergency cases, surgeries, chronic disease treatments, and patients who require regular blood transfusions.
“Blood donation during Ramadan is safe and can be done at suitable times, either before 9 am, provided donors delay their sahur (pre-dawn meal), or after breaking fast. In fact, many donors prefer to come at night as the environment is more comfortable.
“We hope the public will continue to donate. There is no need to worry as the procedures carried out are safe and monitored by trained healthcare personnel,” she told Bernama here today.
Dr Zuraida also advised donors to get adequate rest and maintain a balanced diet before and after donating blood to ensure they remain in good health.
She said every bag of blood donated is meaningful and can save several lives, in line with the spirit of Ramadan.
